Muscatine

From Real Clear Politics, today:

1.  Is it strange that you don't see Republicans calling for amendments to minimize the Bill of Rights?  Only Democrats.

2.  Is it strange that the same people who are trying to get rid of the 2nd amendment (the individual right to bear arms), are the same people trying to limit the 1st amendment (freedom of speech)?

Schumer: There Ought To Be Limits On First Amendment

 

 

SEN. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on the DISCLOSE Act: "I believe there ought to be limits because the First Amendment is not absolute. No amendment is absolute. You can’t scream ‘fire’ falsely in a crowded theater. We have libel laws. We have anti-pornography laws. All of those are limits on the First Amendment. Well, what could be more important than the wellspring of our democracy? And certain limits on First Amendment rights that if left unfettered, destroy the equality — any semblance of equality in our democracy — of course would be allowed by the Constitution.

"And the new theorists on the Supreme Court who don’t believe that, I am not sure where their motivation comes from, but they are just so wrong. They are just so wrong."

Dumb-ass liberals like him have no clue that the first amendment was written to limit the power of government; while embracing the citizen's free exercise of those features within.

And the second amendment speaks only to the "right of the people".
